Placards have been left at the site of Edward Colston’s statue in Bristol. People have been climbing on the plinth to make speeches and lead prayers

History in action.
The statue of slave trader Edward Colston was pulled down, rolled through the centre and dropped in the river in Bristol today @SWNS #BlackLivesMatter #bristol #blm #colston #EdwardColston #protest
So awful that the worst fears ahead of the bank holiday have so tragically become reality. Thoughts to all those affected and those emergency service teams battling at the frontline in such terrible circumstances.

Tough going when there are just so many journeys to make during a national crisis, poor guy.

The sea in Cornwall has been crystal clear since the end of March. But no, it's nothing to do with lockdown and Mother Nature healing herself. From this weekend, it will lose some clarity. But no, that's nothing to do with people heading to the beaches. cornwalllive.com/news/cornwa…

Cornwall is CLOSED to tourists this Easter ⛔️ It's going to be an Easter like none of us has ever seen before - but when the region reopens we will be ready to welcome the world once more ❤️️ #comebacklater bit.ly/34di2W7
